Our family friendly zip tour features 8 zip lines that will take you through a beautiful forest, across an otter inhabited lake and over protected wetlands. This tour is an amazing way to experience the natural landscape of San Juan Island while zipping from platform to platform through the forest canopy.Upon reaching the site, you will be given an orientation and then have the opportunity to practice zipping on our smaller practice zip lines. After this, our guides will lead you on a brief hike to the first of the zip lines. Throughout your tour you will soar past tall Douglas Firs, Western Red Cedars, and experience the forest and wetlands from a viewpoint usually exclusive to birds.Tours last approximately 3 hours, which includes travel time to and from the course. The Zip San Juan course is approximately 10 minutes from Friday Harbor. Zip San Juan can provide your transportation to and from Friday Harbor to the zip site. « less

We had the opportunity to spend a day in Friday Harbor during the early part of May. We parked our car at the ferry in Anacortes ($10 for 24 hours) parking lot and rode the ferry over ($12.45pp to walk on roundtrip). The ferry ride is very nice with several decks and lots of outside and inside viewing. The ferry... More

If you have even a mild sense of adventure, go on this zip line tour! It is extremely fun, and even though I am not the best with heights I felt comfortable the whole time, because you are always clipped into something while up high. The guides Matt and Brian were extremely nice and knowledgeable, and Brian has an absolutely... More

I love Friday Harbor..a beautiful Ferry ride to the San Juan Islands. There is a restaurant that faces the Harbor that is beautiful. Walking around town is so fun. Hardware stores with personality, restaurants where the owners greet you and a place from which you can do a day trip or go to catch a whale watching tour. By the... More

San Juan Island is such a beautiful place, and getting the chance to see it from the inside like this is just too amazing to explain. Zip San Juan's patient and friendly guides make this a fun and easy activity for anyone.

This was our first time zip lining and the folks at Zip San Juan were awesome! My youngest (10) was a little apprehensive but as soon as he chatted it up with Miles & Brian, he was ready for the thrill of his life. My oldest (12) loved and filmed every bit of it with his GoPro. It felt incredibly... More

Thanks Matt and Rebecca for a great time. This is the first time we have done a series of zip lines. Just the right amount of adventure. I was a little nervous before we got there, but the instruction and the guides helped to calm my anxiety. Very thorough instruction as well as very safety conscious. I liked that. 8... More

My husband and I spent a Saturday morning with 6 other people and Matt & Tyler from Zip San Juan. This was an AWESOME experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat. Pickup from Roy's was prompt, and the drive took about 15 minutes to the zip site. Matt and Tyler were engaging and knowledgeable. They were very safety oriented,... More

Knowledgeable and friendly guides, very safety conscious, maybe a bit on the tame side but a great place to try it and ideal for kids. Worth doing if you are in the islands, or fancy a day trip out on the ferries; transportation provided so walk-on works well.

Guides were a lot of fun. The group was small so there was not a lot of wait time. It was a good course with nice scenery. 8 lines in total, the last one takes you over a big pond. Nice finish.
